(Miami, FL) — Ben Hogan®, the legendary golf apparel brand developed by Perry Ellis International and known for innovation, performance and classic style, announced today that professional football veteran Hunter Henry has joined the brand as an official ambassador.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Henry’s career has been defined by excellence, work ethic and consistency — values that align seamlessly with the Ben Hogan legacy. A proud University of Arkansas alum, Henry was one of the most decorated players in college football during his time with the Razorbacks, earning the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and being named an All-American in 2015.
Selected in 2016 to begin his professional football career, Henry has gone on to establish himself as a reliable and respected presence at the highest level of the sport. Over the course of his career, he has become known for his leadership, consistency and ability to perform in high-pressure moments, contributing to a championship-caliber season that included a conference title and an appearance in professional football’s biggest game.
Off the field, Henry is an avid golfer, often finding time on the course during the offseason. A devoted husband and active father, Henry shares his passion for family and sport with his wife, Parker, embracing a lifestyle that reflects balance, integrity and authenticity — qualities long championed by Ben Hogan.
“Golf has always been a big part of my life — it’s where I go to compete, unwind and spend time with family and friends,” said Henry. “Ben Hogan represents everything I respect about the game: tradition, precision and doing things the right way. I’m proud to partner with a brand that truly understands golfers and delivers performance without sacrificing style.”
“As a lifelong competitor who values preparation, performance and tradition, Hunter is a perfect fit for the Ben Hogan brand,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “His success at every level, combined with his love for golf and commitment to family, makes him an ideal ambassador as we continue to connect with athletes and golfers who appreciate classic style with modern performance.”
As a Ben Hogan ambassador, Henry will wear the brand’s Performance Collection on and off the course and collaborate on storytelling initiatives that highlight the intersection of professional sports, golf and lifestyle.
The Ben Hogan Performance Collection is available at Walmart and online at Walmart.com.
